## Summary

Derbyshire County Council procured specialised transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), covering four service areas and required routes within the region. The work is a road transport service, classified under CPV 60100000, delivered in England. It is a call-off from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement is intended to provide planned passenger transport routes rather than general vehicle hire or standard bus services. The council is the buying organisation, with the procurement managed for its regional transport needs. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist passenger transport operators, taxi providers and community transport organisations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a call-off from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport DPS. The tender closed on 1 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 6 August 2026. The awarded value is £369,040.27 including the stated currency of GBP. The award went jointly to Five Health Group Limited, the taxi centre (derbyshire) ltd and Erewash Community Transport. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, covering two academic years, with an option to extend by 12 months. The procurement used an unspecified ‘Other’ method within the DPS call-off. The requirement was divided into four service areas, with evaluation and award conducted through the DPS arrangements.

This award demonstrates established demand from Derbyshire County Council for specialist SEND passenger transport delivered through a passenger transport DPS. A credible future supplier would need to operate safe, reliable transport routes for children and young people with additional needs, with the vehicles, drivers, safeguarding arrangements and operational coordination required for regular school and academic-year journeys. The successful supplier group shows that the requirement can be delivered by a combination of specialist health-related transport, taxi services and community transport. Smaller businesses and VCSEs are commercially relevant, particularly those with strong local coverage, dependable route capacity and experience supporting passengers with disabilities or complex travel needs. Familiarity with DPS call-offs would also be important.
